httpself

HTTP server over SSL/TLS with an automatically generated self-signed certificate.

Usage

Example #1

By default, the server runs on port number 443, which requires superuser privileges. Note that the server will only be accessible from the localhost:

$ https
Running server at https://localhost:443

Example #2

To specify an alternative port number:

$ https --port 8443
Running server at https://localhost:8443

Example #3

To make the server accessible from other devices:

$ https --public
Running server at https://0.0.0.0:443

Example #4

To run the server publicly on a custom port:

$ https --public -p 8443
Running server at https://0.0.0.0:8443
